ORLANDO, Fla. — Royal Caribbean and the shipbuilders tackling what will be the world’s largest cruise ship performed a Herculean task to get the most prevalent feature in place for the Florida-bound Icon of the Seas.
The massive AquaDome is a new neighborhood on board the 20-deck, 250,800-gross-ton cruise ship that will surpass the size of Oasis-class ships like Wonder of the Seas when it debuts out of Miami in just over a year.
A major shift from the Oasis class, though, was migrating the AquaTheater from the aft of the ship on Deck 6 so that it now sits atop the vessel enclosed in a 363-ton dome with 673 glass and 712 aluminum panels.
